The Administrative Data Research Centre for Wales (ADRC-W) would like to invite you to a workshop exploring issues surrounding public engagement, Big Data and social science research.

The Administrative Data Research Network (ADRN) was established to make administrative data that is routinely collected by government departments accessible for the purposes of research. However, the content of such data is personal, confidential and sometimes can be highly sensitive in nature. It is therefore imperative that the public has confidence in how such data is being utilised. This workshop explores issues surrounding the importance of public engagement in social science research – both in relation to Big Data and beyond. The workshop will consider the various mechanisms that have been developed by different organisations to facilitate involvement of the public throughout the lifecycle of research projects.
